Iran: 12
By Ali Mostofi
As you all know, I tend to find a topic, where Astrology and current affairs meld. I tend to do it for Iran, as most Jewish, Christian and Moslem narratives, have no clue of the real Zoroastrian Astrological history or background, to what they are writing about.
I am an impulsive person, being born on the Full Moon in 16/1/1957. Look up my Astrology, and you will know why people like me act this way. Like most people, I have a smartphone and I read all the latest news. Every once in while, I notice an article and a voice inside me shouts, “Chert” or “rubbish”.
This time it’s source came from the concepts of the precession of the Equinox and Royalty. Something said “sort this one out Ali”.
The Ancients that lived in the Iranian Plateau, observed the movement of our planet from above. If you read Immanuel Velikofsky (IV), you will read that the human subconscious, has a lot of information, that is very much kept under lock and key.
If this vast portal of information, was to be opened in your mind, you literally would not be able to live the normal life you have. It is both horrifying and extremely enjoyable. But once in a while, there is a Sourosh or Divine Voice, which in my case, shouted “Chert”.
Immanuel Velikofsky, produced some nuggets of information, that related to the Iranian Plateau. I have linked some of it, to Astrology of the world we live in, and the every day news.
At one point, the Earth had an almost ideal weather system, or Behesht, as we say in Persian. Its orbit was such that, it was at a special angle to the Sun, all the time. Ironically, it was so perfect, it was boring. Then there was a conflict, and we Earthlings were made to pay for it.
I won’t go into the whole scenario, about the almost Star Wars intergalactic war, that took place around Earth. Venus had to be created, and Earth was put in the motion it is now, to make life more interesting.
“Life more interesting”, we all say. Hmm. So some supernatural beings are supposedly observing us. They will all turn up at the right time, to take care of matters, if we Earthlings fall out of love. Today is Valentine’s day. They must be busy.
Our ability to have celestial love, is what matters. So the Earth was made to spin in a way, that its alignment, would be seen as going backwards, through the signs, very slowly. This is called the Precession of the Equinox. That way the humans, will be put under ebbs and flows of forces, which will teach them, the ups and downs life, and the energy that flows everywhere.
Funnily enough, the ancient Zoroastrian writings refer to all this. And this is where, the roots of “Chert” voice of Sourosh, comes from. With all the layers of Jewish, Christian and Moslem mythology, that came later, the real truth becomes completely lost. Only idealism is worshiped.
Why is it that it is lost? The reason is that various religions, added extras, to make themselves unique and ideal. Cunning marketing you could say. We did not have religions in the area as such. We observed the seasons and the sky.
But the new religious fanatics, wanted new Kings and idols and Gods. They had to do that, in order to ignore the original, real and authentic meanings, that put a person at the centre of the universe. And as I am writing with the Moon at 27 degrees Azar or Sagittarius, all these deep meanings should resonate within us all. But then soon the Moon will enter Day, and you should be able to make the historical connections.
The precession of the Equinox, takes sometimes 2000 years to do what the Sun does, but backwards. It is a massive switch. Many religious people assumed, that people born at the time of the switch, were the new world leaders. They were sent by Gods to guide us. Now we know better. Or we now know what ancient Iranians knew anyway.
Iranians have been in the Iranian plateau for 20,000 years. Archaelogists have found, artifacts of humans worshiping Ordibehesht or Taurus, when the Vernal Equinox was last in Ordibehesht. Later the Vernal Equinox began in Aries. Just look at Persepolis. We have the moment of the Vernal Equinox, shown by the Sun or The Lion, as seen on either side of the two entrances to Persepolis. The Sun bitting the end of the Bull marking the end of the Age of Taurus. After that the age of Aries or Farvardin began. As such the Age of Farvardin is seen as the strongest age for man, as he established the very concepts of civilization as we know it.
There are two entrances. Most palaces and great monuments, have one entrance. But in Persepolis, there are two sets of staircases. Not one historian, archaeologist, has ever wondered, why the ancient architects of Iran, had devised two sets of stairs. Instead they said that the whole thing, was made by others and is a bad copy. Cheto Pert.
We do not have the cuneiform or parchments of the thoughts of the Iranians of the time, as religious people wiped out all that, to make themselves look good. Worst culprit is Salman Parsi. He has a lot to answer for. Some esoterics believe he was a time traveller, and what he did was to change the course of history for Iran. He certainly did a meticulous job of erradicating all the pre-Islamic info. But the builders of Persepolis made it to withstand even the wrath of Salman.
You have two entrances to Persepolis, because from the original ancient Iranian Astrological point of view, there were two forces that bring the truth. Polarity produces the energy. Ohrmazd and Ahriman. It takes two identities to produce that energy of love. In science we know that energy needs a positive and negative polarity. In Astrology we see it as hard and soft aspects. Simple.
Most people look at the love or the result or the energy or the truth that is created. But even more people miss the fact that two paths, or two sets of stairs, had to be travelled by each person to meet each other. That is what the two staircases in Persepolis mean. The ancients Iranians knew the twin forces of life.
You would not understand that, if you were not Iranian with a focus on Astrology. And of course as mentioned, that aspect of Iranian history was wiped out by younger religions mentioned.
So it is no surprise that the Sourosh inside me cried Chert, when I read the interpretation given to the twelvers in this article:
http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2015/02/iran-yemen-houthis-axis-of-resistance.html
After the Monguls wiped out Islam and allowed art to flow in our veins from 13th Century AD, the Iranians started to feel plenty like I have and had interpret their feelings. There was no Persepolis to be seen, as it was buried under huge a pile of earth, just like the Burnt City they have recently uncovered.
So the mystics got in touch with some Zoroastrians and wrote books like Shahnameh, which is a bad copy of the original called Khodayeh Namak. But at least some of our folklore came back. Iran had been lost.
Most if not all of the Astrology of Iran had been lost to the Greeks or Chinese where Iranians migrated to. Tell a Chinese person that his Astrology dates to the year 700 AD and no later, and that it comes from the lunar tables of Sassanian Princes, who fled to China, and he will not believe you. There is a disconnect thanks to Salman who burnt all our libraries for the sake of Koran.
The Monks that followed Genghis Khan, knew about Iranian cosmology and some of our books are there. With the Mongols we Iranians got our life back. We had in Iran Christian Nestorians. So much of our cosmology, came back from the new interactions. Some say that in the time of Alexander, a great collaboration of minds took place as well. That is what polarity does to you. In fact the proceeding art and literature in the 14th and 15th century was second to none. Hafez still reigns supreme.
Going back to the Ancients. In ancient Iranian cosmology, there were going to be three Messiahs, one for each Age that will be particularly hard for human beings. People nowadays say it is Zoroaster from 2000 BC to 0 AD. But at the time, no one mentions Zoroaster. There is though just one monument jn Persepolis called the Kaba of Zardusht.
Looking at the Persepolis, Darius refers to Ahuramazda for the first time, and says that it was by “Grace of Ahuramazda …”, that he accomplished all the great feats. As such he set the precedent, that took the personal God, to the political God, for the first time in human history. We know he did this, because there was a fight for the leadership of Iran after Cyrus died.
And so the quest for the most cosmologically perfect human was sought. Jamasp has written that the second Sayaoshant will be born, when the great alignment takes place marking the beginning of the Age of Pisces. And so the Three Wise Men, left from my home village to greet Jesus of Nazereth.
The third one is what the arguments are all about. In fact the Moslems thought that the overwhelming success of the Arabs over the Iranians was and is a sure sign that Mohammad was the third Sayaoshant. But it does not marry up with the prediction made by Jamasp. He speaks of a period when Arabs will conquer Iran and then get pushed out.
The original concept of the ressurection of holy people, is based on what Zoroastrians wrote about the return of three Messiahs at the beginning of each Age. Civilization and Earth worship and materialism began in the Age of Taurus, as that constellation in our galaxy has more material being produced in it than anywhere else. Get a telescope out and look at it. It is immensely dense with light. Zoroaster was born around 1800 BC and he was the first Sayaoshant. Then came Jesus Christ at the Age of Pisces. All sorts of idealism were created. Now we are waiting for the Age of Aquarius to start. Look at the concept of cooperations and social networking. All that is Aquarius.
So this whole concept of 12 Kings all descending from a new King, is a bad copy of the Astrological concept of precession of Equinox. And of course the Sunni Arabs should not believe it, as it is an Iranian system.
The Shi’ites will tell you that it is not an Iranian system and it is something holy to them. Little do they know that the concept of the Right of Kings and Resurrection, are both ancient astrological Iranian concepts. And Darius used it first. The irony is that the Shi’ites thought they got rid of Iranian Monarchical system, and yet they obide by it religiously. It is a Shi’ite monarchy in Iran in the form of Seyyeds. And the worst part, is that it was my own ancestor, who brought it back to make Iran look religiously authentic in front of the world.
Shah Ismail was brain washed by some Sufis to lead Iran back with a new Spiritual vision. He even thought of himself that Iman of Zaman, who was going to reappear and save humanity like Zoroaster and Jesus. In fact what happened, was that Islam came back to Iran and we are in the mess we are in. But if you told an Ayatollah the astrological reasoning, he would not believe you. Ah well. So be it.
